Scotland v England ...

A fundraising match that drew a healthy crowd hungry for football to Celtic Park. The 'England' team was from the Vickers-Maxim munition works at Barrow-in-Furness and 'Scotland' from Beardmore's at Parkhead.

The Vickers team won 4-0 with goals from Dickinson (2), Bradley and an own goal.Some curious matchday entertainment. The landing of an aeroplane and a display of donkey handling!The female Munitions workers of 1914-18 (Munitionettes) had a vibrant football culture.One of the best websites (on any subject) I've ever seen is the Donmouth site on women's football.
